Discussion of large systems, Convex

[Andreas Holz]

Richard,

right, it is quite sad, but these can be substituted.

A much bigger problem was, that these systems, but not only these, are 
using isolation transformers and these are often scrapped. Meanwhile I 
got one from a Fujitsu VPP, but I've knowledge of a transformer in 
Poland, a trip of 1000Km.

Another problem is documentation and software. Due to a lot of help from 
former Convex people we got some, but far away from completeness.

This is not the only system, we have also:

- a C220, dual Vector
- 2 SPP1200XA (MP Pa-Risc, SCI)
- 3 SPP1200CD (MP Pa-Risc, SCI)
- 1 SPP1600XA (MP Pa-Risc, SCI)
- 1 SPP1600CD and one SPP1600 Chassis (MP Pa-Risc, SCI)
- 1 SPP2000 48 Processor System (MP Pa-Risc, CC-NUMA)
- 1 S-Class 32 Processor System (MP, Pa-Ris)
- 1 Cray J916

and these C3860 (Vector) beast (3,5ton + 500Kg Isolation Transformer + 
500Kg SMD-Disc-Rack)
